RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Neurological control of human sexual behaviour: insights from lesion studies JF Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry JO J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 1042 OP 1049 DO 10.1136/jnnp.2006.107193 VO 78 IS 10 A1 Amee D Baird A1 Sarah J Wilson A1 Peter F Bladin A1 Michael M Saling A1 David C Reutens YR 2007 UL http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/78/10/1042.abstract AB We review the human literature examining the effects of neurological insult on human sexual behaviour. We provide a synthesis of the findings to date, and identify key brain regions associated with specific aspects of human sexual behaviour. These include subcortical and cortical regions, with the mesial temporal lobe and the amygdala in particular being a crucial structure in the mediation of human sexual drive.
